Alimony and Spousal Support

Many factors are considered in a court's decision to award alimony, or spousal support, as it is otherwise known. However, as there are only guidelines that the court must consider in awarding alimony, each divorce is ultimately decided on its own unique set of circumstances. Factors the court may consider when awarding alimony include the length of the marriage, the parties' standard of living, a spouse's age, education, and health, among others.
